Spring and jealousy
Ay guys,
I have to tell(almost forgot) somebody what I witnessed the other day.
And since I am lacking on friends who are also car enthusiasts and my
girl certainly wouldn't care, it looks like the list got lucky. Heck, I
don't know if you guys and girls will care! So if you could care less
about my lame story, press delete now. Let me apologize now for the BW,
please forgive my rambling. Boy after that long build up, the story is
going to be anti-climatic! ;)
On my way to an Imported Car Parts Warehouse(capitalized because that
also happens to be the name) that is less than one mile past my local
friendly Porsche/Audi dealer, I am cruising along and enjoying the fact
that my sunroof is off in February! I think I'm pretty cool, but then I
realize I am actually quite cold, and it crosses my mind that even
though it was nice standing in the driveway, it is still February! Then
a BMW Z3 appears over the hill and as he cruises by I wonder why he
doesn't have the roof down - man, he could be really cool! "But not as
cool as I would be in the Porsche Boxter," I think to myself as I hope
the "red one" is at the dealer so I can get yet another glimpse. Just
then a first for me - an SLK with the top down(!) wizzes by me. It
happened all too fast . . but YES!, I have seen it! . .although it's the
same as it is in the mags - nothing special. And then no sooner is the
SLK gone around the corner than the Boxter comes into sight, waiting
patiently for a lover. Past the dealer, I realize I had just caught
glimpses of ALL THREE of the German roadsters in under a mile! It's just
too bad the TTs couldn't have been to the party.(Audi content) Either
way, spring is going to be automotive bliss . . .I can tell already!

p.s. Once again, sorry for the BW but I felt as if the story had to be
told . . . However, my next post will be many questions regarding my
CGT.
